EU Humanitarian Aid
ARMENIA

The EU agreed to allocate an additional €5.5 million in humanitarian aid to support the Armenians displaced from the Nagorno-Karabakh region. Many of the people who fled to Armenia during last year's mass exodus took little to no belongings with them, leaving them dependent on emergency aid. €1.5 million of this funding is assigned for disaster preparedness and the remaining €4 million focuses on providing regular cash transfers to help them cover their basic needs.

But supporters say the change is long overdue and a significant advance for Greek society.
